I like it. Good indication my target is shield tanking!

i think we dont need a bubble around ships, just a repeating glowing pulse added to the ship hull outer texture, maybe with a slight bloom

can you change the shield booster effect as well, it looks lame... and doesnt even span the ship half the time :( maybe just increase its radius for the sphere?
uh.

/emote stands up with a sign saying "KEEP THE SHIELD HARDENER EFFECT"
In fact it was even better when the effect still stacked, since you could see at a glance how well the enemy was tanked. The bubble represents your shields "flaring up" and getting denser to provide a better resistance, wich is basically all there is to say about it. Tbh the sensor booster effect (old and new) drives me way more nuts. Also I think with some ships it's nice to know if they are shield or armor tanking (Minmatar Ships, Dominix, ..)

i think it would be cool, that if the you get hit while your shields are up, there is a shield strike effect, sorta like Linkage
and i like the glow, but i also like to see my ship... :)

Raven does indeed look ugly running shield hardeners, but I always thought the effect looked pretty cool on the tempest. Instead of a bloated egg you got a vertical disc, slightly oval, with sharp edges. Multiple hardeners still got ugly though. Curious to see the new effect but I usually have too little time to actually play, let alone mess around on the test server

To be honest ALL effects should be scalable within the client so the user can tailor the client better to suit the performance of his system.
MANY of the large effects are a great problem as is the new repair effect which slows the sytem down by around 30FPS!
Rather than visual cues for the player I would probably sugest that there be more audio cues, though not overpowering and again scalable within the client to avoid the FPS issue.

It shouldn't take rocket science to know that a Raven is freaking shield tanking, why does it need to be obscured by this hideous effect. There is no tactical information given to you with this effect, everyone knows which ships are shield hardening and armor hardening, and either way it doesn't matter really. All this effect does is turn your rather cool looking ship into a purple ball of light which is lame looking.
 i kinda liked the lovely bluish ball of light around my ship.. makes me feel that my shields are actually worth jacksquat...

I toggle effects to make the swirly bubble go away. I wouldn't mind shields being visible, but I rather like being able to see my ship.
Something like the POS bubble might be cool as an alternative...

Maybe something like on Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. When you power on your shields - there is an effect whereby the energy seems to shimmer into existence around your ship, quickly organise itself into an elongated sphere around you, then disappear. You then feel confident your shields are ON because you saw the particles scramble into position.
Failing that or something else cool, GET OFF tbh.

Sheild effects are cool, and vital to the game, They serve from a tactical point of view as well as you can tell if a target is sheild tanked with them.

shield hardners look good on my ferox, but the edges of my raven stick out of the bubble.

i think for ccp, making the game trek-like is kind of taboo :)
anyways, the effect on sisi has been weakend a bit a think, i dont care much for the color, and i still think the wispy blue minmatar sentry gun shield effect is way cooler..

There is nothing wrong with the existing hardener effects. And I resent the OP making as if "99.99999999999%" of the player base hates the effects just because he and his small group of friends dislikes the shield effects.
Im even more disappointed that CCP stooped to changing the effects at the request of this one person, or even the 10 who posted agreements. What about the 69990 "other" subscribers??
It also sounds to me like the main problem is with Raven pilots. So maybe, CCP just has to increase the shield radius to make sure it properly surrounds all ships. Do you honestly wish to stare at your ship - all the time?? You can stare at it when your shields arent on.
So I dont care if you have a problem with the colour purple and neither do I care if you have a low-end graphics card with which the effects look crappy. (My purple globe shimmers and looks really cool). Dont make your problems mine and dont speak on my behalf to CCP.
PS: Im very happy about the new armour hardener graphic though.

Well so sorry, I've been playing EVE since it was released in May '03 and since that time every person I've played with has complained about or generally disliked the shield hardener effect. This effect DID need looked at for various reasons.
First of all, when using multiple hardeners, the effect STACKED, which not only was probably a waste of memory/cpu but it also completely obscured your ship.
The effect is ugly and looks horrible on a lot of ships, I'm glad it's been toned down some. I really don't think this was done on my request, it's just something that needed done.
I still don't particularly care for the effect, especially the violet color. It is better now than it was though. I will still probably be hitting control+alt+shift+e the second I log into EVE though.. like most people.

I have to say that I really like what CCP has done with the new shield look on Sisi. It's got a great look to it.

New shield hardener effect.... Clicky!
I think I like this new one. The old effect could be a bit overbearing with more than one hardener running.

How about a less obtrusive option of getting a "glow" or whatever effect fints your fancy but only when you get hit. Your ship registers a hit - flash, christmas tree lights up, fireflies are flying in circles above your head and D1ck Tufeld delivering his "Danger Will Robinson"? The next time your ship lights up like a christmas tree and you're about to have an epileptic seizure induced by the flashing lights, you know you're a primary.
Edit: Holy Jebus! Richard Tufeld is still a ****!

We discussed something along those lines, but it's a lot of work, and we're focussing on making the system run better in fleet battles. I'm sure that I'll probably play around with something along those lines over some weekends and see if I can make it practical and good looking.

what is it u developers have with these DARNED FLEET BATTLES!
they are rare, and do not hapen much, only very few people do fleet batle and those are most time older and it are most time the same people.
why dont u make mining or mission running more advanced, instead of all the hype aboud fleed battles and titans.

For fleet battles you more or less have to turn effects off.. in fact if you are looking to improve fleet stuff, you might want to give players an option to turn engines, turrets, and various other particle effects off as well..
As far as the shield showing when taking a hit, that would be awesome. :)
